if you are talking about working in genting highland (instead of the HQ office in KL) then the environment is not that good.

From what I heard, basic necessity is there but you will be bored like hell. You can work there for a couple of years and save a lot of money because you have nowhere to spent the money.

If you are talking about working in genting's office at menara genting then it's quite bad environment. For one, they don't pay their staff well. The turnover is quite high. Most people got there to learn something and then leave.

from my experience in working part time in first world last time..the pay is good, but the environment of the worker quarters aren't really in good condition. Don't expect fancyful and homely setting....and theft cases are common to.... and the 2 rooms share a toilet...unless ur staying in the family quarters.

if u work in genting heighland, dun ever thin kto spend ur money in the casino. u will be ban from entering the casino for 2 years from that day u quit.

how much 1st world pay??

depends on what job u take...i work as a waiter there....i took as many OT as i can...so it would add up to about rm 70-80 per day.... but my life was really sleep, wake up, eat, work, eat, bathe, sleep, and repeat...

if u work in casino u'll have a easier life, but less healthy due to the ahem ahem smoke....

btw..the food in genting resident quarters is good..espec the claypot chicken rice ...i miss it..the best i tasted so far ...too bad i cant enter anymore

really no life on the highland. But u can play around with your colleagues esp girls. They got nothing to do except have fun together-gether.

wat qualification 2 work there??haha...pmr??spm???

depends on what job ur applying lor.....
minimum is PMR..
if u go for casino job need to go interview, they will test ur maths skills as well as test ur palm see will sweat or not...
if ur going for housekeeping/waitress job....usually u'll get it right away if there's vacancy.

oh yeah...transport to genting can be claimed back, sometimes they might even come and fetch u if got a lot of staff coming from ur area...

working in genting sucks big time. unless you have no problem working in shifts and eating the same thing over and over again....the working environment depends on what position and your job. if you are working in casino as a croupier, then try and get monte carlo casino... it's smoke free..

Added on May 1, 2007, 4:51 pmactually it's not that bad la. i take back my word. you can fall sick anytime and claim from them. overtime is quite alot. and drink lots of water man.

Added on May 1, 2007, 4:54 pmthe claypot chicken rice from rsc 1? the loud loud auntie? nice...every guys and girls to her are leng chai and leng lui one...

btw, for food, you won't have any problem. got alot of nice food at a very cheap price...

i worked there many many years back, after my spm as a waiter in first world plaza. life there is..err...okla, working life is boring anyway.

advantages are that can safe money up there, and believe me, ur skin will get white and fair in no time. also will be able to meet a lot of chicks

i'm not sure about other jobs. but jobs in the casino has 2 days leave every fortnight. hope these info can help you

yaya from rc 1...corner stall heheh...i always ask her to add wine for me one...make me warm before i go to sleep...true food is not a problem. most food inside rc is a lot nicer than the retail food outside (After all they are cooked by experienced ppl...not by "us" in retail fast food outlets in genting ).

From wad i heard,

Working in GH have no life..

If work at Wisma Genting.. IT department low pay..

WOw thanks for all the advice, and also the benefits you guys share.. by the way.. whats the differences between a family quaters and staff quaters?? i saw someone mention about that?? do they provide Family quaters for new staff or just for married people?

and anyone here is still working in genting highlands? not the HQ..

and meet up with girls.. hmm.. interestin

Family means...well..can stay family there la..its specially meant for husband and wife...(meaning male and female stay together).

staff quarters are usually unisex quarters....one rsc block is usually either all male or female.....

wah seprated aprtment for guys and gals mer. no fun ler.

thanks for the info Snowfish.. but does the husband and wife have to work in genting to be able to stay in the staff quarters?

---

Added on May 7, 2007, 1:20 pmhmm.. snowfish do you use to work in Genting Highlands or you got friends working there?

This post has been edited by desperadobigalow: May 7 2007, 01:20 PM

usually both husband and wife stay in family quarters, though u can still apply if ur spouse dont stay in genting...

desperadobigalow: yes to both Q .

Wat position u applied for?

For forumers who said that its genting is very boring..its just that u guys didn't know whr to spend ur time only..

Sorry.Off topic for a while.I need some help.I got a diploma,my manager told me she can transfer me to casino department as a guest service assistant.But i think she lied to me.At first i juz work as part timer here,when i told her i wanna quit tis job she told me to stay and work for another 3 months.After 3 months she said will transfer me to casino but now it's oredi 1 year and i still working like hell at her outlet.I got a diploma and i think i deserve a better job and better paid job.to all the gentimg staffs out there,is there is any other ways beside resign?

Go HR department and look for manager in charge... try discuss with him/her about your problem...

IT Executive? I applied once and got offered 3 years ago, but I rejected it because from what I read in the vacancy, it stated the location was Wisma Genting. I simply had intention to move to GH.

The salary was quite good. The offer I got was RM1900 + meal allowance RM900 (I was with one year experience then) and I would be allocated in a hostel of a room shared by two staffs (including me), not bad I would say.

I have plenty of friends working there and they all told me it was a very good offer and told me that I was silly to reject it. If you ask me, I will say, it depends on what other offers do you have besides working in GH? If you have no confidence to get a better job, just grab it and work to gain experience, maybe a year or two until you get really bored (it's really very boring up there), then you can move on to another companies.

~ just my 2 cents

Hey Kim Hoong, thanks for the advice and your comments i would say that its true that if there is no other jobs ,maybe grabbing this one would be an advantage for starting but maybe also for the long runs..

from what i see that since you have alot of friends working there? what actually made you reject the offer? was it just because can be bored up there? ? or otherwise?

For my case, I rejected the offer because I thought I could get a better ones (and obviously I couldn't ) and because I had just started a relationship then (until now )

I do feel I had wasted the chance going there but things are lost and gained throughout our life, so I'm still living happily even with only decent work and pay

how much is croupier offer now in genting casino? last time i worked there was 1500 then b4 i left it went down to 1300....now?

haha... awsome.. I understand that feeling! well to be honest working on a decent work and pay sometimes keeps the pain away.

Thanks again Kimhoong for your advice.. well hope i won't make the same mistake

Added on May 10, 2007, 11:29 amsorry i wish i could answer that for you? so how was your experience when you were there? by the way can you still go back after you resign?

This post has been edited by desperadobigalow: May 10 2007, 11:29 AM

only there for 3months holiday job.
it depends on whom u r staying with , triple sharing or double....
some seniors stay long enuf they donwan u to interupt their living, i even heard a newbie kena sapu out by a senior lady staff , really sapu out...

i had met the ocupational counsellor there during one of our uni activity, he told us , u can c thousands type of ppl working there, some kaki perempuan, some 1nite stand, some commit suiside, some fight in staff cafe ( personally saw it ), some fight in lobby of the quarters...

if u hate ppl smoking, then pray to god ur roommate don smoke....

money is good there ( legally or illegally ), just be urself n don get influenced by ppl coz a lot of youngsters ( SPM leaver...) pick up things quite easily n fast....

don trust ppl too easily , i m lucky i stayed with a PS (pit supervisor) who has normal life , but my the other roommate ( new as me) kena fired bcoz had fight with another guy after his gf kena pikat....

u ask ppl who work there , they can tell u thousands of ridiculous stories....not to mention crimes yet....not to scare u oso la....

Wow now thats something new~ .. besides when you say kaki perempuan and some one night stand and some sucide? you actually seen it and like most guys will go and stay in the girl dormintary? and what do you mean like kena sapu?? meaning got kick out of the dorm?? or got kicked up from genting? besides.. is there a possible way of getting a personal room even to pay monthly?

thanks for your advise in advance~!

This post has been edited by desperadobigalow: May 10 2007, 01:43 PM

personal room....not tht i know of...
guy gal quarter separate building....
SAPU means really using the penyapu.....

those senior staff ( 2-3yr elder), they know how to tackle gals especially newbie n same time table...gals after school, alone there , no where to go, not many fren, easily got into trap...it's a norm la of course, like u in college c new junior comes in...

after all, as long as u know wat u r doing there, should b ok...

btw , i only speak with 3months experience , doesn't mean i m rite, i could be just happened to know wat i know which could be 0.1% rate in genting.

This post has been edited by yewkhuay: May 10 2007, 02:12 PM

wow. i see. true enough.. but then again.. sounds like a college story in genting.. where seniors pick on juniors.. hehehe

thanks again and yes as long as i know what i'm doing there should be ok~

so how is working there?
as?

hehehe.. not yet working there.. just in the progress if or not should i accept the offer or not.. hehehe because i'm afraid to make a wrong decision and also trying to get as much feed back as possible so that no one regrets working there.. and also trying to know the culture or genting up there

y choose genting if u don mind i ask? u apply which job?

well to be honest since the benefits are pretty excellent and some more dont really use much money over there i thought i mind be able to save some money over there.. and well i applied for the IT post since i'm in the field now hehehe.. might as well stick to it.. well if there are other options i won't mind skipping it but then again some people say its a waste if i dont go and some say should skip so i'm still trying to make a wise decision before anything happens

oh, wat i said above is about croupier life...work day n nite no life....so if u in IT, should be normal life....

Pardon me guys im an IT guy too but i read elsewhere saying GH pay for IT is kinda low? Thats why I rejected the genting guy who asked me to go for an interview 2 days ago. Previously I wanted to go, but then

Anywya say if u go GH, where will you be staying? Amber Court?

Amber court where is that?

Wow.. damn crazy.. but i like.. ^^

I suddenly got called by GH for IT Exec. post interview...
Anyone know about the working as IT Exec in GH?? How can I get to GH by public transport? What's the benefits there???

LOL. IT exec ah? from what i know is that you guys get to use the worst and slowest computers in the whole genting..... Why?? because Genting expect you IT people to know how to troubleshoot or deal with it if it hangs or roask. haha.. you should check out your IT office toilet as well.. damn bloody clean!! (If you know what i mean la...)

Benefits for execs in genting is prolly 2.1k basic salary. RM980 food card to be use at Genting food outlet only (McD, KFC, starbucks Etc is 3rd party outlets so cannot use it there). Rm40 food card to be use at staff canteen.

benefit wise is quite good la. I work at 9am wake up at 8.50am hahahah..

the only sh*t thing is that have to work 6 day week la. mcb..

If the IT position you applying for is POS, that means the place you taking use to belong to one of my friend. LOL.. he just resigned beginning of theis month due to sh*ty working environment Genting is providing us.

Added on October 24, 2008, 2:26 amAnother thing, you not from KL ah? public transport can get at 1u, pudu, terminal putra, kajang bus terminal, kl central. all buses will stop at the genting skyway. you need to take cable car after that.

This was about a few years ago. Previously I was at Finance. Computers ... hahaha. reminded me of green monochrome days..

AND..

during my time up there.. it was working 7 days a week.. you'd have to apply for your days off! 4 days in a month, if I'm not mistaken.

up till now still the same la friend. They provide you shitty computers. Im not in the It department but i have plenty of frens there and they are complaining like hell.

working days same la. you work 7 days get 4 days off, that is if you take monthly off. if you take weekly is work 6 days and 1 day off lo.
Anyhow also you are considered working 6 days week.

Waa...so bad ah??
Thanks for the info...I've declined the interview offer juz now...hope to get a better offer from somewhere else. RM 2.1k nowadays is kinda...sh**ty as you said..
I thought that I'd get to control the finest, fastest, and most advanced computers that are being utilised in the casino. Guess not

Well, guess that I've made the 'right' choice....

This post has been edited by abc2005: Oct 24 2008, 01:01 PM

2.1k is ok la. food, rental and bills are taken care off but dont forget you are working 24 days a month for 2.1k. if you calculate with others working 20 days a month than its about 1.8k basic only.. that is if you get a 5day week job la.

RM2.1k for SMEs or small companies maybe still considered ok la. But for Genting as a 'MNC' plus extra days in Sat...

Genting is a china man company. I thought since they were so big they should be ok. I was wrong.. totally wrong.. they dont really look after thier employees..

thinking of leaving soon. lol

i working as GSA now in genting, jus work around 2weks.... salary basic 1.7k plus accomodation n one meal per day. accomodation depend on ur luck la, haha, sum get clean wan, but ur luck bad, haiz i cant imagine, is damn smal n dirty, summore sum of ur roomate r smoking. ur towel smell smoke la.. haha..foa i tink basic is around 800-900 only la.. better be groupier, is higher but yes damn stress. jus like a machine lo, around i tink is 1.3k la. my room still ok only la.. food not bad n cheap. but u all know la, work at genting very sienz wan.. haiz.. i also wont work long de... but u all know how to mix wif ur collegue lo.. haha.. dis is jus my comment n my exp..

for degree holder, did genting focusing on the cgpa ?

wat, one day 3 dif girls, so damn nice!! question...how to fu*k if the quarters are unisex?? oh, perhaps they do it "out door", interesting...

hi all, I have a question for genting staffs.

Do you have internet broadband provided in your hostel? < I mean your room, don't tell me go to KFC/McDonald with laptop...

something like WIFI, or cable connection?

or we have to subscribe streamyx on our own?

wish to get reply soon... urgent. thx

Basically for genting staff, if they want access internet, they will go to the mcd, kfc, starbuck,... to surf net. Some will apply streamxy connection at their room. Staff are allow to do it since the room hv phoone cable.

Beside that some hv broadband connection from maxis,.... so not problem to access internet.

If u r not work 4 long time at there, u better go to ourside surf free wifi. If u planning want work for long period, then can apply the streamxy.

For senior executive above they staf at RSC 8 who got free wifi connection, then no problem 4 u, if u stay at thr.

i used to work there as croupier..life there was boring. is shift time working, one week has to work from night to morning, quite suffer. quite fun if u r good mix up with gals..there are a lot pretty gals. hostel is fairly good, sometimes has to see who u r staying with. my experience, one of my roommate took his gf(staff oso) back to the hostel and sleep together..

hi,wana ask..i plan to work in genting in coming april..as a croupier..
if i wan quite in july can ?need sign contract?hw to pass d interview ar?~~
need to say wat?~

ya u can quit at any time, just inform HR or your supervisor, they will tell you how to do. but don't leave without notice because genting will backlist you and u wont be hired next time.for interview, they just give u a math test, if u r good in math, then they sure hire u.Meanwhile, they will check your palm if got sweat. if sweat then sorry to you loh:)..but they will offer u another job if there has vacancy except croupier

no contract 1 mer?they said need sign 1~work for 2 month ++ ok mer?
hw to check palm gt sweat ler~~
i gt bit bit sweat 1 ler..hw ar~
kk

Actually work at GHR quite fun if u know how to enjoy.

The benefit genting offer quite good. They provide accomodation, meal package/meal elaun.

For accomodation. They got many RSC at thr, for temporary staff usually will be place at RSC 1 n apartment (sorry i forgot the 2 apartment name). Environment at RSC 1 quite ok. there got family quarter (the lower level). Upper level not so good, i heard have to share with many ppl. If in family quater, in side got 2 room. Big room 4 ppl, small room 2 ppl. Inside got living room, kitchen area (can't cook), 1 toilet.

Anyway, is oso depend on u stay v who. Is u r a person who like clean, then u roomate/housemate not care any, wat can u do? Ai..... js do wat u can do, u satisfied ur requirement then ok loh.

For executive, they mostly stay at RSC 4,5,6. Executive usually is 2 person per room. Toilet share with 2 room.

For meal, staff usually have 1 meal package. for casino staff they take the free meal at staff canteen. For outlet staff they take at the outlet. For executive above the hv around 980 meal allowance for them to eat at the genting outlet (exclude kfc, mcd- 3rd party). So actually can save $$$ for meal. Beside that in RSC oso hv staff canteen. The price is reasonable. But dun take so much, a lot of msg.

Working environment. Is depend on your working place. Casino staff work at casino, shift schedule. Got smoke free area, is better 4 coupier since is non smoke area. Some customer smoke very strong. so sometime can't tahan. so more is shift work, so you will go through un-normal time ( night work, day sleep). Anyway day n night oso same, cause oso dark if ur room can't get sun light.

Working at outlet, wah very tough! Shift shedule or certain outlet got break shift. work at oulet need to serve customer directly, so can't do chin chai. some customer very nice, if u serve them very good, they will give ur some coupon, price....If u didn't do properly, teruk, kena supervisor scold.

Work at hotel (counter-FOA), hv the policy to go through. need to help customer about the room problem. Oso in shift schedule. Certain time very buzy. Especially holiday (no only malaysia), a lot of tourist. Then tat time u know lah, every where oso got ppl. wan to eat at outlet oso hard to find place.

do u sure every room has a phone cable? <- sry for doubting you, but I have to be certain about this matter... sry

and is there any TMpoint/streamyx agent available in genting? <- I wish it could be easier to register one...
